[Docket No. FAA–2013–0163; Airspace 

Docket No. 13–AWP–2] 

Establishment of Class E Airspace; 

Grand Canyon, AZ 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class 

E airspace at the Grand Canyon VHF 

Omni-Directional Radio Range/Distance 

Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) 

navigation aid, Grand Canyon, AZ, to 

facilitate vectoring of Instrument Flight 

Rules (IFR) aircraft under control of Los 

Angeles Air Route Traffic Control 

Center (ARTCC). This improves the 

safety and management of IFR 

operations within the National Airspace 

System. 

DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC, 

October 17, 2013. The Director of the 

Federal Register approves this 

incorporation by reference action under

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On May 1, 2013, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to 

establish controlled airspace at Grand 

Canyon, AZ (78 FR 25404). Interested 

parties were invited to participate in 

this rulemaking effort by submitting 

written comments on the proposal to the 

FAA. No comments were received. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6006, of FAA 

Order 7400.9W dated August 8, 2012, 

and effective September 15, 2012, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in that Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

establishing Class E en route domestic 

airspace extending upward from 1,200 

feet above the surface, at the Grand 

Canyon VOR/DME navigation aid, 

Grand Canyon, AZ, to accommodate IFR 

aircraft under control of Los Angeles 

ARTCC by vectoring aircraft from en 

route airspace to terminal areas. This 

action is necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations. 

The FAA has determined this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not 

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT 

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 

FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) 

does not warrant preparation of a 

regulatory evaluation as the anticipated 

impact is so minimal. Since this is a 

routine matter that only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified this rule, when promulgated, 

does not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities under the criteria of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act. The FAA’s 

authority to issue rules regarding 

aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the 

U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 

discusses the authority of the FAA 

Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation 

Programs, describes in more detail the 

scope of the agency’s authority. This 

rulemaking is promulgated under the 

authority described in Subtitle VII, Part 

A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it establishes 

controlled airspace at the Grand Canyon 

VOR/DME, Grand Canyon, AZ. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 311a. This airspace action is 

not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On May 1, 2013, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify 

controlled airspace at Twin Falls Joslin 

Field-Magic Valley Regional Airport, 

Twin Falls, ID (78 FR 25406). Interested 

parties were invited to participate in 

this rulemaking effort by submitting 

written comments on the proposal to the 

FAA. No comments were received. 

Subsequent to publication, the FAA 

found that the Class D airspace 

reference was omitted from the Title, 

and is added in this rule to note the 

airport’s name change. Except for 

editorial changes, and the changes made 

above, this rule is the same as published 

in the NPRM. 

Class D and E airspace designations 

are published in paragraphs 5000, 6002, 

6004 and 6005, respectively, of FAA 

Order 7400.9W dated August 8, 2012, 

and effective September 15, 2012, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D and Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in that 

Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

modifying Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

and 1,200 feet above the surface at Twin 

Falls Joslin Field-Magic Valley Regional 

Airport, Twin Falls, ID, to accommodate 

aircraft using the RNAV (GPS) and the 

ILS or LOC standard instrument 

approach procedures at the airport. 

Also, the geographic coordinates of the 

airport and Twin Falls VHF OmniDirectional Radio Range Tactical Air 

Navigation Aid (VORTAC) is updated to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database for the respective Class E 

airspace areas. This action is necessary 

for the safety and management of IFR 

operations. The airport formerly called 

Twin Falls-Sun Valley Regional Airport, 

Joslin Field or Joslin Field-Magic Valley 

Regional is renamed Twin Falls Joslin 

Field-Magic Valley Regional Airport 

under its respective Class D and E 

airspace areas. 

The FAA has determined this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not 

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT 

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 

FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) 

does not warrant preparation of a 

regulatory evaluation as the anticipated 

impact is so minimal. Since this is a 

routine matter that only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified this rule, when promulgated, 

does not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities under the criteria of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act. The FAA’s 

authority to issue rules regarding 

aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the 

U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 

discusses the authority of the FAA 

Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation 

Programs, describes in more detail the 

scope of the agency’s authority. This 

rulemaking is promulgated under the 

authority described in Subtitle VII, Part 

A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it modifies 

controlled airspace at Twin Falls Joslin 

Field-Magic Valley Regional Airport, 

Twin Falls, ID. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental

paragraph 311a. This airspace action is 

not expected to cause any potentially
